Thank you! I'm flattered :)

Fair enough—it was. :) I just get super frustrated on this issue, because the feminist community at large doesn't seem to take it very seriously. Glad you found it informative, and I *highly* recommend the book "What Roe v. Wade Should Have Said"—it really explains things well and is easy to read for non-legal eagles…

Thanks for the support! I realize I may have come off a little condescending in this post, but I get so, so frustrated. I've tried explaining this to my (very feminist) friends, and they always sort of brush me off, like "this is an interesting thought experiment but not really an issue, is it?" It scares me how…

Yes, and thank you! I was horrified to learn how ignorant I was regarding this case after taking a con. law class—and by extension, how ignorant the feminist community is, in general, of the real issues underlying Roe. They're so, so, so, important.

YES. Why are some people so stupid and petty? I can't believe the number of dudes and Jez commenters (in previous articles) smugly patting themselves on the back for highlighting the "real" issue—the US's terrible healthcare and the test's general unaffordability when Angelina points to these ideas EXPLICITLY in her…

She doesn't assume that at all, although I can see why it might come off that way. As University of Chicago undergrad who has taken several law classes here, read some of her stuff, and seen her speak, she's completely right. There is a more or less a consensus among feminist legal scholars (Justice Ginsburg even has…
